Summary
Dynasty Salons are parties of legend. The politics. The gossip. The orgies.
The Mighty Nein decide to throw their own party and invite the usually reluctant Essek to join them. Somehow, with the Mighty Nein, Essek finds he wants to want.

Summary
Experts can find no discernable cycle, only that drow who experience heats can expect to do so every decade or so, provided they are in the right environment. Roughly, this means adequate nutrition, lowered levels of stress hormones, and mildly increased levels of sex hormones. Food, calm, and attraction.
It should really be no surprise then that Essek went through exactly one heat at the peak of puberty and never again. A fact that never bothered him much until recently.
Or Essek has finally found someone he wants to share a heat with. Now if only his heat would get the memo.

Summary
Footsteps pad down the hall and past the stairs. Actual footsteps. Verin can’t remember the last time he saw Essek walk on his own two feet. He feels a twisted knot form beneath his sternum; something isn’t right.
Thinking only of justice and restoring his family's honor after Essek's betrayal, Verin Thelyss finds something he never expected, an Essek he never expected. A mission for justice turns into a race against time and a family finds their world upended.

Summary
“If I am remembering correctly, and I usually do,” Caleb lets a smile tease at the corner of his lips. “It also does not require such, ah...intimate contact. You can cast at quite a distance, ja?”
Essek maintains a straight face, but he cannot disguise the way the tips of his ears twitch. “I—ah can, yes.”
“Much like you do not need to hold hands to Teleport?”
The wizards use a spell as an excuse to hold hands, make emotional speeches, and be giant saps.

Summary
"Once upon a time Caleb had been able to navigate such events with ease. Once upon a time he had borne an air of self-importance, borne the attentions of the tonne with poise, borne a different name entirely, but no longer. The Caleb Widogast ensconced in the Lavorre Estate’s library was altogether a poorer version of the young man from once upon a time. Poorer in standing, in wealth, in respectability. If he did not think it poor manners to turn down the invitation of his one and only benefactor and employer Caleb would have just as soon declined."

Summary
Ludinus strokes Essek's belly with his thumb. “I hope I have given you a taste today of how it might be for you, if you decide to keep my little one.”
Little one. Essek swallows. There are worse fates than this, perhaps. Here, he would be safe. Here, he might even dare to pretend to be loved.

There's something in Caleb's dreams. It wants him to know that he's not alone. It wants him to know that he'll never be alone again.
Elves don't dream, so all Essek can do is watch.
